Jennie Kim and Cleo Manoban had been best friends for so long that neither of them could remember exactly how it started.
Some friendships began with heartwarming stories.
Theirs began with an argument over a sandwich in elementary school.
To this day, both insisted the sandwich had belonged to them.
To this day, neither had proof.
Somehow, that argument had turned into years of friendship.
The kind of friendship where boundaries no longer existed.
Jennie knew the password to Cleo's phone.
Cleo knew where Jennie hid her emergency snacks.
Jennie had a key to Cleo's house.
Cleo had once walked into Jennie's bedroom at six in the morning just to ask if penguins had knees.
Neither found this behavior strange.
Everyone else did.
"You're basically sisters," people often told them.
The statement always made Jennie laugh.
Mostly because if they were sisters, they would have killed each other years ago.
Still, there was one mystery that had existed throughout their entire friendship.
Lisa Manoban.
Cleo's older sister.
The legendary sister.
The mythical sister.
The sister Jennie was ninety percent convinced wasn't real.
Because despite years of friendship, Jennie had never actually met her.
Not once.
She had seen photographs.
Lots of photographs.
Family photos.
Graduation photos.
Random photos Cleo forced her to look at.
Look at my sister.
Look at my sister at eighteen.
Look at my sister receiving an award.
Look at my sister standing in front of her company building.
Look at my sister breathing.
Jennie had seen enough pictures to identify Lisa in a police lineup.
Actually meeting her?
Impossible.
The woman was never home.
Apparently she spent her entire life working.
Running a company.
Attending meetings.
Flying across countries.
Doing whatever mysterious CEO people did.
Jennie personally suspected CEOs spent most of their time staring out windows dramatically.
Like in movies.
She had no evidence.
It just felt right.
At the moment, however, Jennie wasn't thinking about Lisa.
